NFL Playbook Breaks Down Patriots-Raiders

NFL Playbook, which is a strategy/X’s and O’s show on NFL Network, weekly breaks down each upcoming game. NFL.com has posted a video of the show’s staff – Joe Thiesman, Sterling Sharpe, Matt Millan, and Brian Baldinger – breaking down tomorrow’s Patriots-Raiders game. They focus on:

• Wes Welker and Rob Gronkowski vs. the Raiders’ man coverage
• How the Raiders’ defensive line can – and will, in the opinion of some – do what Buffalo’s defensive line did, which was get pressure, get sacks, and bat down Tom Brady’s passes
